GHG Emissions and Oil Consumptions from Transportation Sectors in US and China - Current Status and Future Trend Transportation Consultant Sustainable Multi-Modal Transportation for Chinese Cities International Seminar October 20-21, 2003 Shanghai, China
Outline GHG Emissions from US Transportation Sector Current Transportation Status in China Comparing/Projecting US and China Oil Use and GHG Emission Trends The Role of Motorcycles Conclusions 1
In 2000, US is world No. 1 Carbon Emitters, and China is No. 2 U.S. Carbon Emissions by End- Use Sector in 2000 - one third of carbon emissions is from transportation sector Global Carbon Emissions U.S. Carbon Emissions Rest of World Germany India United States 25% China 11% Japan Russia Transportation 33% Commercial 17% Residential 20% Industry 30%
U.S. Transportation Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Mode 62% from automobiles Freight Trucks (16%) Air (9%) Cars and Light Trucks (62%) Buses (1%) Rail (2%) Water (5%) Pipeline (4%) Off-Highway (2%)
Carbon Emissions from U.S. Automobiles vs. Nations of the World United States China Russia Japan India Germany United Kingdom Canada Italy France South Korea Ukraine Mexico South Africa Australia Brazil Poland Iran Spain Saudi Arabia The 302 MMTc emitted annually by U.S. automobiles exceeds the total emissions of every other nation except China, Russia and Japan. 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Million Metric Tons of Carbon (MMTc)

Extrapolating based on EIA International Energy Outlook 2003, China would catch up US in overall CO2 emission in 2035 (assuming 3.4% annual growth rate). By then, US + China would contribute 40% of world CO2 Emissions. However, projection for China is highly controversial. 14,000 12,000 10,000 China US US+China World 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000-2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 Share of world 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 China 12% 13% 14% 15% 17% 18% 19% 20% US 25% 24% 23% 23% 22% 22% 21% 20%

China On-road Vehicle Population (million) in 2001 - while car population is still under 5 millions, rural vehicles and motorcycles dominate. - US definition of Light-Duty Vehicles (LDVs) = Cars + Light-Duty Trucks (LDTs). Thus China currently has about 10 million LDVs population, about 5% of US level Vehicle Population in 2001 50.0 43.3 40.0 Million Unites 30.0 20.0 Based on US definition 22.0 10.0 8.2 5.1 4.7 9.1 9.8 0.0 Trucks Buses Cars HDVs (w /o mini bus & truck) LDVs (car + mini truck & bus) Rural Vehicles Motorcycles
Passenger car population exploded in the past two years, may reaching 8 millions by end of this year. New car sales this year (2003) are projected to be about 1.7-2.0 millions, similar to annual new light-duty vehicle sales in the State of California (2 million), and about 10% of total US light-duty vehicle sale (17 million) 8.0 Passenger Car Population 7.0 Million units 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003

1) China On-Road Transportation Oil Consumption in 2000 is about 60-70 MMT, 10-12% of US level 2) Personal Transport Vehicles Contribute about 31% of total (LDVs 22% + motorcycles 9%) 3) Heavy-duty Vehicles contribute 51% of total Oil Consumptions Share in Transportation, 2001 50% 51% 42% Oil Consumption Share 40% 30% 20% 10% 21% Based on US definition 22% 10% 18% 9% 0% Trucks Buses Cars HDVs (w /o mini bus & truck) LDVs (car + mini truck & bus) Rural Vehicles Motorcycles
Assuming current trend continues, China on-road transportation oil use would reach current US level (~ 600 MMT) by 2025, and reach beyond 800 MMT annually by 2030. If all motorcycles are replaced cars, China would catch-up US in on-road transportation oil consumption by 2030 US vs. China Transportation Oil COnsumption Oil Consumption (Million Metric Tons) 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 - Oil MMT US Oil MMT China BAU trend Oil MMT China 6% Current US Level 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 Replace MCs with Cars

Role of Motorcycles Motorcycles contribute significantly to oil consumption and GHG emissions, currently about 9% of road transportation Motorcycle population is adding about 5.8 million unites per year, and will likely to reach 100 million units by 2010 If all motorcycles are banned and replaced by personal cars, China s total vehicle population will increase significantly The impact on oil dependence and traffic congestion would be significant To promote zero-pollution and low-noise fuel cell scooters in large cities is a smart alternative and suite unique characteristics of many large Chinese cities
